Step 1
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate; leave 2 tbsp bacon fat in the pan.
Step 2
Season pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 3
Increase heat to medium-high. Sear cutlets in the bacon fat 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Top each with cheese and crumbled bacon.
Step 4
Cover skillet for 1 minute to melt cheese. Slide cutlets to one side; add green beans to the pan with a splash of water.
Step 5
Cover and cook beans 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Push everything to the edges and crack both eggs into the center.
Step 6
Cook uncovered until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
